Added ability to use "@" symbol in command named in the inittab file. This treats commands as literal and does not launch a shell to interpret them. Updated inittab manual page to include overview of symbols which trigger a shell interpretor and how to disable them using the @ symbol.

.SH NOTES
|
|
\fBmesg\fP assumes that its standard input is connected to your
|
|
terminal. That also means that if you are logged in multiple times,
|
|
you can get/set the mesg status of other sessions by using redirection.
|
|
For example "mesg n < /dev/pts/46".
